Any way to get Manjaro ARM Gnome to work on an M1 Macbook Pro running VMware Fusion Public Tech Preview 22H2?
I can run Ubuntu 22.10 but I want my beloved Manjaro instead.
I cannot use UTM or Parallels because it’s restricted what I can install on this Mac, only VMware Fusion.
Any plans for a build made specifically for VMware Fusion on M1?
Anyone managed to get it to work on VMware Fusion on M1?
I have Manjro Plasma dual booting on M1 - it works - reasonably - very unpolished - not recommandable.
Paralles works too - but I am not ready to cough up the subscription - I don’t need Manjaro on Parallels that bad.
Fusion I don’t know …
We have an internal installer based on Asahi Linux wich supports Manjaro natively on Apple Silicon. For now we only have a CLI and Plasma proflie, similar as Asahi has.

I updated it by now to Kernel 6.3 with native OpenGL 3.1 support. Speakers are still disabled but Audio can be run via Headphones.
I’m interested in running it in a VMware Fusion VM, not straight up on the hardware. Is there an installer for that?
No but you can use the efi-generic image and see if it boots.
I tried both gnome-generic and gnome-generic-efi and neither boots.
It should be possible to make it work though because I was able to boot Arch using the iso from https:// archboot .com/iso/aarch64/latest/
FWIW, VMware Fusion is at v13.0.2 now and it’s not a “tech preview” version anymore. Ubuntu 23.04 runs just fine on it.
I have manjaro arm running apple m2 mac mini. Using utm though.
It would be nice to make it work on Fusion. I had it working on an Intel Mac. Unfortunately I can’t install UTM on a work Mac, they only allow Fusion.
Second that, would really like to get Manjero running on Fusion also
